I tried googling some terms but I couldn't find any. I'm looking for a small home use potato chip making machine. I remember 10 years ago I was at my parent's friends house and they had this automatic potato chip maker. All you had to do was screw the potato onto this long screw and it would turn to peel off small slices of potato. Then it went into this very small fryer and after a minute or two this small plastic arm would push the chips out. It only made like 5 chips a minute.

It was very small, less than the size of a shoebox.

edit: Maybe a little taller than a shoebox, but the footprint is around the same/less.

I have never heard of anything like that before in my life.

5 chips a minute? Who would even bother?

You know you can buy frozen chips in bags from the supermarket, and you put them in the oven and they come out the same. =.=

Yeah I know where a potato chip maker is. Look in the draws around your kitchen. However most people do not call it a potato chip maker. We call them knifes, and they can make alot more then 5 chips a minute. Hell they just dont make potato chips. You can make french fries and even cut meat with them.
